hi, give your opinion about your tire, freeride tires go from 520 grms to 1,200 grms, folding, wire, etc..................................

I bought a Kona Stinky that came with the NBX and I hate them. I ride in the Pacific northwest (rain,snow, and roots) I put them on my trail bike. and put my WTB Timberwolfs 2.5 on the Stinky, this tire I love. So when I get my Christmas money I'm gonna get some 2.3 Timberwolfs for my trail bike. I don't know what I'm gonna do with the NBX but they will not find themselves on another bike I own.

I love my Nokians for my DH bike, but for something you have to pedal, and need to really think about rotating mass, they were just to heavy.

I went to Swampthings for the mud, and Weirwolves for the rest of the year. Debating the Larsen TT 2.35 for summer months.

I like my Kenda, DH, wire bead, Nevegal 2.35s for FR/TR riding and I like my Minion 2.7/2.5 SRY for DH.

I run Kenda Kinetics 2.6 DH tires on my Gemini, and they are amazing. They pedal and roll EXTREMELY well, get traction on anything, corner very well, and have retarded thick sidewalls; I run about 26psi all the time. You can also pick up a pair almost anywhere for under $85, which is much cheaper than Maxxis and Nokian.

My next pick would have to be the Timberwolves. Those and the Kinetics go hand in hand.
